Subject: [PATCH 3/4] objtool: Fix sibling call detection in alternatives

In add_jump_destinations(), sibling call detection requires 'insn->func'
to be valid.  But alternative instructions get their 'func' set in
handle_group_alt(), which runs *after* add_jump_destinations().  So
sibling calls in alternatives code don't get properly detected.

Fix that by changing the initialization order: call
add_special_section_alts() *before* add_jump_destinations().

This also means the special case for a missing 'jump_dest' in
add_jump_destinations() can be removed, as it has already been dealt
with.
